Destroyer Droid # 8002 (BNIB) $400

Lego Technic Star Wars 8002 Destroyer Droid, also known as a droideka, was a heavy battle droid used by the Trade Federation and later the Separatists. They were well known for their resilience, superior firepower, and intimidation. They were usually deployed in moderation, due to their cost. After the Clone Wars and the fall of the Separatists, these droids fell into the hands of mutiple factions. The reasons why they were more formidable than B1 battle droids was because of their ability to transform into a sphere-shaped configuration, which allowed for rapid movement and compact storage. When in battle, they could project their own deflector shields that protected them from blaster fire and even lightsabers. Their superior firepower made them much more powerful than other battle droids; their arms were practically built-in twin blasters.
